Roxy Peck and Tom Short's STATISTICS COMPANION supports your success in Statistics by providing a review of the necessary Statistics-specific mathematics, study skills, and Statistics-language content. The material you will encounter in the Introductory Statistics course may be new and challenging, but this book and its accompanying resources help build and reinforce the skills you already have--and build upon those skills to help you learn the content of Introductory Statistics. This companion gives you tips for effective studying and a strategy for reading Statistics problems that helps you understand the problem context and interpret results in that context.
